PHOTOGRAPHY: DPS Competition #1 2017

So, last night was my first Photography competition. It was in the Non-Advanced section of the Dundalk Photography Society, which is a club I joined last week, spurred on by my friend Enda. I put a lot of effort into it and had some ups and downs. I learned more about photography in this week than I did in the last two months since I got my camera. I am so glad I entered it and pushed through all the moments where I felt I should just give up. I could have made any number of really “valid” excuses to 1, not join the club in the first place, or 2, not enter the competition. I am glad I pushed through.

And in the end I actually did decently enough. My lowest score was 16, I got three 17s, an 18 and a 19 – which may sound better when I tell you that the photos are marked out of 20

Here’s a video where I talk through my thoughts on each of the photos as well as some of the photos I rejected:
